> Global Echo says 85 of 132 agricultural shipments from Israel to Australia between August 2018 and August 2026 contained goods from West Bank settlements, including at least $5m worth of organic dates. Australia has no blanket ban on settlement imports and does not require them to be labelled as originating in occupied territory.
